| Sorry, Cows. Bill Parcells is responsible for this team »
I must say I'm more than a little disappointed that the Texas Rangers didn't pull the trigger on a deal to rid themselves of a spare part in order to gain a prospect at the trade deadline. Hank Blalock, Eddie Guardado, Jamey Wright, Kevin Millwood, Vicente Padillia, four catchers, Frank Catalanotto, Milton Bradley -- basically anyone not named Hamilton, Young or Kinsler -- came up in trade talks. No one was delt. All the movers and shakers in the MLB said teams were being very protective of their prospects at the trade deadline, so that makes me want to give Jon Daniels and Co. a pass on this one. But seriously. You couldn't find something you liked in the Marlins system that would have made dealing Gerald Laird worth it? Surely there was something to be done at the deadline. I was hoping that in light of how good the Mark Texeira trade has turned out, the Rangers could trade two or three players, add four or five prospects and watch them grow over the next two or three years along with Hamilton and Kinsler. Maybe that wasn't possible, but Daniels hasn't earned enough stripes for me to give him the benefit of a doubt on this. What do you guys think? Mad, sad or happy? |

I heard that they wanted a big league player for Laird. They should have dealt him anyway I really like Max Ramirez and would like to see him get more playing time.
